The Corning ONE Wireless Platform is the first alloptical converged solution that unifies cellular, Wi-Fi,
and Ethernet backhaul.
The Corning ONE Wireless Platform provides a flexible
intrabuilding cellular and network data coverage solution
based on a fiber optic transport backbone. Fiber-to-theedge technology allows for virtually unlimited bandwidth
to support today and tomorrows growing demands of
wireless users.
The fiber optic infrastructure is easily deployable via
a wide range of preterminated composite cables and
advanced end-to-end equipment. Easy-to-design Plug
& Play connectivity significantly reduces installation
cost and deployment time.
Built-in Gigabit Ethernet support enables offload,
expansion, and best-use of Wi-Fi resources, while the
integrated antenna provides flexibility for easy and costeffective MIMO upgrades.
The Corning ONE Wireless Platform includes
advanced features such as capacity steering and
femtocell listening mode for small cells, making it the
ideal, scalable solution to efficiently enable all of the
enterprise networks wireless services with the coverage
and capacity needed for high quality of service.
Configurable service group management allows precise
service distribution control to meet changing density
needs and provides further savings by enabling sharing
of equipment at various levels for service providers.

System Architecture

Corning ONE Wireless Platform delivers wireless and Ethernet services over the fiber optic infrastructure:
RF Path: Broadband RF distribution over fiber infrastructure via remote-end units (i.e. RAU, RAU5, and MRU)
At the headend, RF signals from the RF signal sources (e.g. base transceiver station [BTS]/bidirectional
amplifier [BDA]) are conditioned by service-specific (conditioner) modules in the headend unit (HEU) and
organized into up to three user-configurable sectors. The conditioned RF signals are converted to optical
signals by the wideband optical interface unit (OIU), and specific sectors are routed toward selected remote
locations according to user-defined configurations.
The optical fibers at the OIU are routed to the interconnect unit (ICU) at the remote end. From the ICU, the
optical fibers are distributed along with direct current (DC) to the remote units.
For small- to medium-sized deployments, an integrated headend unit (IHU) can be installed at the headend.
The IHU is a compact headend unit that interfaces up to eight RF sources, conditions the signals, and performs
the RF-to-optic conversion of the signals, which are then routed toward the remote site.
Note: A fully occupied OIU (12 optical interface modules) supports up to 36 RAUs. Each IHU can support up to
eight OIMs (with four radio interface modules) supporting up to 24 RAUs.
Ethernet Path: Serves the Ethernet transport from corporate LAN over fiber to third-party equipment
The Ethernet services from the corporate LAN (received via Ethernet switch) are converted to optical signals by
the central Ethernet unit (CEU) and routed over optical fibers toward the Gigabit Ethernet module (GEM)
units. The optical traffic is then converted to 1GbE by the GEMs and distributed to two third-party equipment
types such as access points, Ethernet switches, etc.
